In 2019, the MAJ (Youth Art Exhibition) celebrated its 30th anniversary and Sesc invited Polar to develop the project’s new logo, as well as the branding, visual identity, and signage of the commemorative edition. Following the format of traditional art salons, the exhibition sheds light on contemporary young art production. Currently, it is one of the main cultural events in the interior of the state of São Paulo and places the city of Ribeirão Preto on the Brazilian’s visual arts map.
The new MAJ logo was designed combining geometric shapes with ink traps that pushes it away from a typically modernist solution. The highlight is the character ‘M’, which gains an extra “leg” to reproduce the boost given to MAJ’s featured artists.
The 30-year edition’s visual identity simultaneously pays tribute to the new artists discovered and the city of Ribeirão Preto. We created a series of graphics that refer to sparks, representing young talents at the time of expansion and professional growth, as well as Ribeirão ‘s powerful sun.
Designing the visual identity of a business is always very challenging, there are so much to consider and tons of subtleties. I feel that for some industries that task can be even more daunting, one of the I believe it might be designing the branding of a restaurant.
Shangning Wang shared a personal project/ concept project/ student thesis project for the branding for COP 25 UN Climate Change Conference.
It's April 1st, the day where we should fool ourselves a little for a change. Instead of looking at what major brands are doing, we took a closer at the Wyoming Air Company, watch the video to see what is it all about.
I am currently working on a logo for an untitled project and in the middle of my research; I stumbled across this beautiful rebranding of the Super, Natural British Columbia, in Canada.
